Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct accounting entry when selling land. When land is sold for more than its book value, the difference should be recognised as a profit. The correct journal entry involves debiting the bank account with the sale proceeds, crediting the land account with its original value, and crediting the remaining amount to a profit on land sale account.
